Level of precaution
Does a more precautionary approach enable higher catches in the long term? What compromises results in the short term?
Please select the scenarios:
- RCP 8.5, lim. prod., Fmsy * 50%
- RCP 8.5, lim. prod., Fmsy * 75%
- RCP 8.5, lim. prod., Fmsy * 100%
In the long term the scenario with the highest levels of catch is the 75 % scenario, thus a more precautionary approach will enable higher catches. In the short term the 100 % scenario will as expected lead to higher catches. But all scenarios show in the second half of the century a decreasing trend.
